    5w40 Oil and Flash= lower mpg

    Gearhead, I have not done this very often, always forget about except when towing, but have you tried manually shifting from 7th to 8th, or the next higher shift point you want instead of waiting to shift, especially on flat lands. Like I said have not done it very much, except towing, so not...

    Headlights

    Remember even if you just change out just the bulb, you still have to disassemble the front grill to change out the bulb.. no way around it unless you have very small hands.

    Fuel Milage Sucks

    My milage around town, 21/23, on open road 2 lane 27/28, freeway driving 25 to 28 depends on speed and elevation of the road, between Little Rock and Oklahoma 27/ 28, between Memphis and Birmingham 25 to 27. Anything over 73 MPH my milage will start declining. Also depends how aggressive I drive...

    2016 EcoDeisel vs. 5.7 Hemi, 1500

    The 3.0 ECO built for Ram does not have the years or miles the Hemi has. So it is not proven like the Hemi, I have heard like Captain said several 3.0 at or above the 150,000 to 200,000 mile and still going strong, and plan on mine getting there. Will the 3.0 be trouble free, it has had engine...

    5w40 Oil and Flash= lower mpg

    I got the ECM updates and TCM updates and oil update and running T6 oil now and my average has not changed, 25 to 27 on 2 lane roads driving 55 to 60ish, not a lot of stop and go, usually stops about every 8 to 10 miles depending on how far between towns. In town driving getting 21/23. Free way...

    My EcoDiesel is awesome today because:

    I bought it as a light duty truck, and it meets my needs for the next 200,000 miles that is my plan anyway, fuel usage is outstanding, towing, or not, DEF usage is very good, I know it rides good if family likes it, and wants to take it on trips instead of my wife's jeep Grand Cherokee, Hot...

    What did you trade for your EcoDiesel?

    Pin weight / weight of trailers I was towing, my last big trailer we have is a 43 ft toy hauler, and it is up for sale. Only have a 20 ft trailer now that I plan on keeping, that my tractor fits on if I need to take it somewhere, or pick up stuff.

    Some questions/comments on my 2016 ED

    My 16 does it when the sensors are dirty, or has snow, mud etc,, on them. When you take it in to get oil changed, ask in advance what they are using, and your receipt should say what they used, if you have doubts about the dealers, changing your own oil is the best way to know what is in your...
